If the only Word you hear is out of someone else’s mouth you don’t have any Word. You will easily be manipulated by whatever position YOU prefer.
If the only news you hear is from an opinionated news station you don’t have any news. That’s called stuff to tickle your ears. It tells you what you want to hear. You’re leaning that way anyway, so, take the plunge. Indulge yourself. You will find a group of people that feel the same way you do. People who have a “what the hell” attitude.
Go for it, dude!
It’s just a video game. You’ll have another chance to make it right.
Only this time it’s real. And you put down the video game controller long enough to walk into reality.
You are not playing a video game.
That’s a real gun. Those are real bullets. That’s real blood. That’s real pain. Those people have real emotions. There are no do overs in real life.
Now you have to live with the consequences. You didn’t think that far ahead, did you? It’s because you spend too much time sitting on the couch and not really using your brain. You’ve been fed so much anime and fake news. The talking heads have become your source of information.
Instead of embracing life you have bogged yourself down with impossible dreams. Still believing in high school baseball, football and basketball fantasies that are far past you. Even if it were possible for you to pursue those dreams, you lack the propensity to humble yourself and receive instruction in order to fulfill those lofty goals.
It’s time to hit the reset button.
It’s good to know that you can walk back from that cliff. You don’t have to take the plunge into regret. Let’s keep anime and video game violence isolated to the screen you watch it on.
